Two BLA men killed in Mastung raid

Two suspected members of the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) were killed and as many injured in a targeted operation by the paramilitary Frontier Corps in Mastung district of Balochistan.

Acting on a tip-off, paramilitary troops raided Killi Pirkani area on Friday, FC sources said, adding that suspected BLA militants holed up in the area opened fire on the troops. In the retaliatory fire, two BLA insurgents – including their commander Rasheed Shahwani – were killed.
Two BLA members were also arrested during the raid. The fire fight lasted for more than two hours.
The dead BLA members were nominated in several murder cases, including the killing of Mastung Cadet College principal, according to a press release issued by the FC. A huge cache of arms and ammunition was also recovered from the hideout.
Separately, the FC arrested 10 suspects in a search operation in the Sariab Road neighbourhood of Quetta. Paramilitary troops also recovered explosives during a separate search operation in Pashtoonabad, a settlement of illegal Afghan refugees in Quetta.

In ongoing violence, a lecturer of the Kharan Degree College and his son were gunned down in Kharan district. Gunmen entered a school and shot dead Ikram Mengal and his son.

Instead of telling these details, Mr Malik Siraj in an interviews with an “unknown website” Tanqeed twist this operation and claim that government is doing operation against Baloch nationalists to avoid any operation against Lashkar-e-Jhangvi.
